Lacey's Visit!

My Friend Lacey came down on Monday and we have been doing the "Tourist" thing!! LOL!! She, Xander, and I went to the Kid Kraddick show (which was really cool and we got to meet all the cast!), drove by Cowboys Stadium, Rangers Stadium, Six Flags, downtown Dallas, and visited the Arboretum!! She also took some AMAZING pictures of Xander and I at the Arboretum! I am sad to see her go because we had so much fun reminiscing about "the good ole' days!"

Ji-C and Big Al with Lacey. They are DJ's from Kid Kraddick in the Morning!

2 Week Check up

We had Xander's two week check up today!!! He is perfectly healthy!! :) I KNEW he was a good eater, but weighing him today definitely confirmed it! LOL!! He is now 7lbs 11oz!! And he is now 21 3/4 inches long!!! :) My little boy is growing so fast!!! He is officially two weeks old now! I want time to just STOP! Breckyn is getting so big and independent and now my baby is two weeks old!! UGH! That means I only have FOUR weeks left on Maternity leave! :( I just wish I could stay home forever with both my babies!

Sleepless nights, bottle, burping, but loving every minute of it!

Sleepless nights, bottle, burping, but loving every minute of it! That is my new motto!! Actually Xander is doing much better with his sleeping!! He is finally getting his nights and days fixed! Last night I got 5 or 6 hours of sleep STRAIGHT before he woke up at about 3:30 or 4:00!! It was awesome!! Strider put him down for the night and I was already asleep and it felt great to get some rest! And I should be sleeping, well, napping, right now since he is napping, but I felt like I needed to update the blogging world! :) We are all doing well though. Tomorrow Xander has his 2 week check up and I am nervous/anxious to know how much he weighs now!! He eats ALL THE TIME! LOL!! :) Hopefully he is gaining weight like he should be!

Just hanging out! He's my wrinkly old man! :)

We also started "Tummy Time!" Grandma Steele got him this really fun play gym that has a stuffed elephant for tummy time!! I don't think he is quiet ready to do it on the elephant though because he keep rolling off to the side!! He is actually very good about lifting up his head and kinda looking around already! And he seems to enjoy tummy time way better than Breckyn did!! She screamed the whole ten minutes we did it with her! LOL!! He is more mellow and relaxed about it! LOL!!

2 Year Check up!

I just realized I forgot to update everyone on Breckyn's 2 year check up!! Well, she is very advanced in her "language and understanding" the pediatrician said!! She said some of the things Breckyn says and does are 3-4 year old developmental skills!! I knew she was a genius and if you ask her dad he would say, "Was there any doubt? Look at her Father!" LOL!! But she was in the 70% for weight!! We finally made it! LOL!! And 65% for height! So, they were predicting her to be about 5'8"or 5'9" if you got by what the pediatrician called "the old grandmother's tale!" Doubt their height at age 2 and that will be their adult height! I guess only time will tell! :) But we are glad to say she is 110% healthy and handled her shots really well! :) She got even got a flu shot and Mommy got one too!! So, hopefully we will have a "flu free" house this winter!! I am still in negotiations with her Father about HIS flu shot though!

She is getting so big she can touch the ceiling! (With a little help from Uncle Sherman!)

2nd Birthday Blast!

Well, my baby girl is now two! UGH! The last two years have gone by so quickly and she has grown up so much! I want to rewind time to when she was first born and wanted to snuggle with me!! :) Her birthday party was kinda hit and miss!! She slept for the first hour and then was a grouch for the next hour! LOL!! But once we started opening presents she was as good as gold!!! :)

Her Wagon from Grandma and Grandpa Pike! She LOVES this thing!! As you can tell she is waving to her adoring public!!

Her tunnel that Uncle Sherman and Kyle got her!!

Happy baby!

I caught this little laugh/smile picture at the hospital the day we were coming home!! :)

Breckyn's New Favorite Saying!

I asked her "what do we say about KU?" She said, "PU-KU!!!" She is so funny!!!!
